Chen Rui really wanted to beat up a certain prophet again, but when he looked at the glaring Athena, he held it back and said with a sneer, “To be honest, when Zola got the Silver Queen, I should have given you this punch. If I could get out of here, I’d blow your head off with a punch in the Psychedelic Forest. But, I remember you said, win or lose, this is the last time we’ll see each other, so I don’t want to leave any regrets.”
Athena at the side was puzzled. Zola… Is it Teacher Zola, the principal’s assistant? Also, what do the words ‘Silver Queen’ and the ‘Psychedelic Forest’ mean?
“This punch is not light.” Alucier touched his swollen face in pain, but he shook his head, “It’s a pity that it can’t kill people. By the way, Athena, the little dagger in your sleeve is useless…”
Athena trembled slightly. The little dagger I hid is actually seen through by the principal, and he even exposed it in front of that scumbag!
After Alucier applied the medicine, he returned to his original elegance and calmness, “Sit down first, Athena. I’m fine. Actually, if you really want to kill someone, this is more effective.”
With that said, Alucier took out another box from his bag, put it on the table, and opened it. Athena couldn’t help being shocked when she saw that it was a revolver. What happened to the principal?
Possessing a gun illegally?
No, not just illegal possession of guns, but those words, what exactly do they mean? Kill someone?
Alucier pushed the box in Chen Rui’s direction, “Now, it’s time for you to choose.”
“Principal!” Athena couldn’t help but yell, “What on earth are you doing?”
“As you have seen and heard just now, I’m letting him choose.” Alucier raised his head. His eyes seemed to pass through the building and looked into the deep sky, “This gamble has reached the most critical moment.”
Athena still couldn’t understand, “Gamble?”
Chen Rui picked up the revolver and looked at it. There was only one bullet in it.
“You only have 1 chance to choose.” Alucier smiled lightly, “I know that you have done a lot of things. You want to change yourself in this world, and you want to make up for the state of mind that may be missing, but you still can’t avoid choice. That’s life.”
“There are choices where once you choose, you can’t go back. No doubt it is life.” Chen Rui smiled, looked at Alucier, and then at Athena. “This gun… can destroy this damn world?”
“At least it can destroy the world in your mind or in my mind.” Alucier sighed, “The result of destruction may be for creation, but it is for destruction after all. Your choice will determine this world, and it will also determine another world. You must think it through.”
Chen Rui paced slowly in the room, and the atmosphere became tense for a moment.
After a long time, Chen Rui stopped walking, and he looked at Athena, “Actually, the most likely node is neither you nor me, but her.”
Alucier nodded and said, “She and the ‘Son of Destruction’ are the biggest factor that attracts you to this world. At the same time, she is also the ‘protagonist’ throughout the recent events in this world, but why can’t it be me?”
Alucier’s words made Chen Rui’s eyes sparkle, “Yes, you’re the mastermind behind everything! From the first time I saw you… No, from getting your green leaf badge, I, Zola, and many others have been I fell into your trap. In this world, you are the only ‘conscious person’. Or in other words, you are also the only main thread that connects the 2 worlds. No wonder you said that this is the last time I will see you. Yes, I should have killed you.”
With that said, Chen Rui raised his gun and aimed at Alucier.
“Stop!” Athena stood up, “How dare you kill the principal!”
Chen Rui narrowed his eyes, and his finger was slowly pulling the trigger.
Alucier remained calm, “Why are you still hesitating? Kill me and everything will be free.”
Chen Rui’s eyelids twitched, and he took a deep breath, “Wait a minute, I seem to have missed someone.”
Alucier smiled like an old fox, “Yourself.”
Chen Rui slowly put down his gun and walked to Athena, “‘I’ am the biggest scourge, the scum who has done countless evil things. This may be the dark side of my mind, and it is also similar to my inner demon. As long as I don’t exist in this world, I will return to the other world .”
Hearing this, Athena already understood. It turns out that this ‘scumbag’ is choosing to kill me, Alucier, or himself. From the attitude of Principal Alucier, it seems that this terrible choice was given to him by the principal. Why?
“No, you still don’t fully understand.” Alucier shook his head, “I must first remind you that if you make a wrong choice, you will forever deviate from the original world; and in this world, you have committed suicide and died. Therefore, you will be completely annihilated! “
Chen Rui was shocked. Alucier is right. I am already dead in this world after committing suicide. If the node isn’t me, it would be equal to the disappearance of ‘me’ in both worlds.
For a moment, Chen Rui’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat.
“Killing yourself is actually the most unwise choice. As far as this world is concerned, suicide will completely annihilate and completely cut off your life. Let’s say you failed and stayed in this world. I’m the principal and the biggest director of the school. Behind me is the ‘elf consortium’. Even if you kill me, you can’t bear the consequences. The rest of your life is equal to being over. Only killing Athena is the safest way. She is just a girl with no background. With the influence of your father Lex, it is not difficult to suppress this matter, so… killing her is the safest.”
Athena was startled, the normally respected principal suddenly became like a devil in her eyes.

“Whether your choice is right or wrong, killing Athena will have the best result. Moreover, you have analyzed it before. She is the most likely node.” Alucier’s words made Athena fall into an ice cellar. Is this the principal’s true face?
At this moment, Athena felt that Chen Rui’s eyes had turned to her.
Different from what she imagined, there was no lust nor murderous intent in that kind of gaze, only incredible tenderness.
Then, under Athena’s surprised gaze, Chen Rui slowly turned the revolver to him.
“It’s astonishing. I have already said that, but you still choose yourself. Moreover, I can see that you are serious.” Alucier shook his head.
This sudden change made Athena barely able to react. She suddenly remembered that from the very beginning till now, Chen Rui had been pointing the revolver at Alucier and himself, but never at her.
Why?
Although she found it unbelievable, her intuition told her that there was something wrong with this person! Although his appearance and identity are exactly the same, it doesn’t seem to be the scum from what I initially remember!
Pretending?
Twin?
“Alucier, this is not about beheading the inner demon, but a choice to face your mind. Even if there is an inner demon, it is still me. If I kill you or Athena for myself, I will be just like the original ‘him’. If you deliberately set such a trap by utilizing this point, then, congratulations, you win.”
“The video recorded by the camera here will be automatically posted on the Internet. Athena will not be blamed for anything.”
“Your analysis is actually full of loopholes. It’s not entirely the reason why you chose to kill yourself.” Alucier sighed, “I can tell you, this is the most stupid way. It is also a dead end. You should also understand. But Why?”
“My world and your world can collapse.” While Chen Rui answered Alucier, he kept looking into Athena’s eyes, “I just want to use these hands to protect her world and more people, wherever, whatever it takes.”
Not pretending! It’s not acting either! Athena’s mind trembled suddenly, and something indescribable suddenly filled her chest. For some reason, her heart suddenly began to ache.
“Athena,” Chen Rui’s gaze became softer, “Maybe this is just your reflection in the mirror, maybe this is the last time I see this face, but I…”
Chen Rui paused and did not continue. Those words were engraved in his mind and soul, just like before.
But, I still love you, not like, but love.
Mountain Xilang, that figure covered in flame, that affectionate and unregretful gaze, seemed to appear in front of her eyes again. They slowly merged with that face.
The tears welling up unconsciously blurred the vision.
Is it reincarnation?
Without further hesitation, he pulled the trigger with his finger.
Gunshot sounded.
In the campus.
Tiffany in front of the computer repeatedly looked at the video that had been uploaded to a big website. She hesitated for a moment before she finally clicked publish.
In the campus bank outside the student union office, Kia came to an ATM machine. After entering the password, she looked at the balance displayed on the bank card. She couldn’t believe it. She squeezed the letter paper tightly with slightly trembling hands, and the last sentence on the slightly deformed letter paper was still ‘everything will be fine’.
On the street behind Kia, Alice was bouncing around with her hands behind her back, smiling and talking with her sister. Shea revealed a rare softness in her usual indifferent gaze when she saw the jovial sister.
On the opposite court, Gabriel greeted the sweaty Michael, Raphael, Satan and others with a smile as she handed over towels and mineral water bottles.
Python was still standing silently in the distance, looking at her mobile phone. There was a line of words that says, “Whether you love me or not, my love is there, neither increasing nor decreasing”. This message—was either sent to herself, or to that person, or left in the draft box of the phone forever.
At the gate of the campus, Olypheus and Lalaria walked forward dejectedly. Beside them were the heroic sisters Isabella and Strena, smiling at each other from time to time.
Farther away from the school, Catherine took her daughter’s little hand and walked home step by step. Duoduo held a bag of pig head biscuits in her little hand while Catherine’s beautiful eyes showed confusion, loss, and hope.
There was a line of advertising on the sign of the roadside bookstore: Disappointment is acceptable because it is limited, but hope cannot be lost because it is infinite.
TL: ???? a sad end. Is Alucier giving him a vaccine that Chen Rui will have to choose ‘him’ or Athena in the future?
